I know Friedman built his reputation reading sheets but making them is a whole different ball game. I have no idea how good a figure maker he is because he never lets us in on his methodologies but I’ll tell you when I really began to wonder about him. A year or so ago there was a debate about the number he posted for Chilluki’s debut 4&1/2f race at Keeneland. One of the very few times he’s ever responded to any of these sort of things he came out and assured the lemmings on his board he verified it by going back and looking at the subsequent numbers of the runners in the field. I couldn't believe what he said and NOBODY over there questioned him. Using the subsequent numbers of wildly unpredictable 2yo fillies in April and May to prove the accuracy of a 4&1/2 figure for early spring???? Ouch. You're right,'Kool-Aid Raggies'Bill O'Reilly would call them
